BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following includes information that may be useful in understandingthe present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of theinformation provided herein is prior art nor material to the presentlydescribed or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or documentthat is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of brushes and morespecifically relates to cosmetic brush systems.

2. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

Cosmetic brushes are the main applicators for people applying makeup.Different sorts of makeup require different brushes such as a lip brush,an eye shadow brush etc. In cosmetic applicators currently commerciallyavailable, one brush has only one function, so the user needs to buy aset of brushes to achieve a satisfactory makeup. A brush head on anormal brush can easily be damaged by frequent use, and may need to bereplaced. However, it is wasteful to throw the brush handle and ferruleaway when only the head of the brush is damaged. A suitable solution isdesired.

U.S. Pub. No. 2013/0125921 to Wayne Celia relates to a method andapparatus for a makeup applicator. The described method and apparatusfor a makeup applicator includes a makeup applicator comprising aferrule and a series of reversibly attachable, interchangeable heads anda method of making the same. Through these interchangeable heads, theinstant invention allows for quick and convenient use of multiple makeupapplicators that are relatively simple to manufacture, stable enough tobe used with precision, and highly adaptable.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known brushesart, the present disclosure provides novel cosmetic brush systems. Thegeneral purpose of the present disclosure, which will be describedsubsequently in greater detail, is to provide an efficient applicatormeans.

A cosmetic brush system is disclosed herein. The cosmetic brush systemincludes a cosmetic brush assembly having a head assembly including anapplication-head, tubular-member, and a base, and a handle. Theapplication-head is located at a distal end of the tubular-member andthe base is located at a proximal end of the tubular-member; the baseconfigured to receive and secure the handle via fastening means for use.In certain embodiments, the base of the head assembly comprisesapertures configured to allow fluid to pass therethrough for cleaningand sanitizing bristles of the application-head. A magnetic elementinside the top of brush attachment may be attached to a magnetic surfaceto allow the brush to dry quicker, more effectively and reduce/eliminateexcess water, mold and residue. The present invention is directed to aninterchangeable makeup brush that solves multiple problems due tolimitations and disadvantages of the convention cosmetic brush by havingthe handle and the cosmetic brush head disassemble and assemble quickand easily for the consumer's convenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate tobrushes and more particularly to a cosmetic brush system as used toimprove the efficiency of cosmetic application.

Generally, the present invention comprises a makeup brush with areplaceable brush head and a replaceable handle. The replaceable handleis snapped-on friction fitted into the replaceable brush. Inside thereplaceable brush are small holes that spray water or cleaning solutionthrough the brush bristles to clean the residue from make-up off thebrushes more effectively. The screw portion in the replaceable handle isdesigned to be fitted tightly and secure for application. This newlydesigned make-up brush is created for economic benefits for theconsumer, easy portability, storage and is sustainable for environment.

The bristles of the brush may be molded securely in place with smallpunctures that allow air, water and cleaning solution to flow throughand clean the brush more efficiently. The section between the handle andthe brush bristles is preferably a hollow tube to allow for the water,cleaning solution to pass through. The empty hollow space will also makeroom for the handle and the replaceable brush to fasten in/snap in,screw in/lock in with three handles. The fewer handles and replaceablecosmetic brushes have economic, storage, portability and environmentalsustainable benefits.
